About Line Trimmers products
If you’re looking to buy a line trimmer in New Zealand, ArchiPro features a great range of the latest models from the most trusted brands and suppliers in the industry. Whether you need to trim the verges of your driveway, precision-cut around shrubs or flower beds, or even keep your lawn looking its best, a quality line trimmer could be just what you need. They are an important part of our wider range of high-quality garden tools.
Types of line trimmers
All line trimmers work in much the same way with a semi-rigid ‘string’ (often made out of nylon) rotating at a high speed, cutting through plant material like a steel blade. However, there are a few different types you should be aware of.
Electric trimmers
Electric trimmers are cost-effective, easy to handle, and ideal for small spaces, but can only be used within reach of a power outlet. For small lawns and garden edges, an electric grass trimmer is suitable where a nearby outlet is available.
Cordless trimmers
Cordless trimmers are battery-powered, therefore independent of buildings or power sources, but operating time is limited by the need to recharge the battery.
Petrol trimmers
Petrol line trimmers suit an acre of land or more and heavy undergrowth, but they are noisier than electric models and are often heavier.
The advantages of high-quality line trimmers
As with most garden tools, you get what you pay for. High-quality models may be pricier, but they provide better value for money. They cut effectively and quickly meaning you don’t have to make more than one attempt to get the area cleared. They are very well designed, and constructed using premium materials that make them strong but lightweight. This makes them much easier to handle, which for any large handheld tool is incredibly important. Most of the best options also come from well-established brands with decent warranties to give you confidence in your purchase.
How to choose a line trimmer that’s right for you
Choosing the right line trimmer depends on what you need it for. Are you cutting short grass, near the house, or longer grass and brush, further away? Try to pick one that suits your needs and the demands of your property. For these tools, petrol models are typically better suited for larger properties like lifestyle blocks or for commercial jobs. Electric models are usually more than adequate for urban residential homes though again this depends on the size of your section. With electric models, some like to stick to the same brand if they own other electric tools like hedge trimmers as the batteries can then be shared. So long as you get the type right and prioritise quality, you’ll be making a choice that will work for you for years to come.
